SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 691,709, dated January 21, 1902. Application filed June 22, 1,901. Serial No. 65,621. (No model.)

To @ZL whom it mfrry con/cern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM B. MURPHY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Glove-Fasteners, of

lwhich the following is a specication.

My invention relates to improvements in glove-fasteners and it consists of certain new and useful combinations and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed, which are designed to improve in a sim ple manner upon constructions heretofore in use, and particularly upon the patent granted to me on the 22d day of November, 1898; No. 614,817.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a cross-sectional View of the barrel of the socket member of the glove-fastener. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan View of the same. Fig. 3 is a sectional View of an ordinary eyelet used in connection with my improved socket. Fig. 4 is a sectional View of myimproved socket, showing the parts about to be forced together. Fig. 5 is a similar Viewshowingthe socket in its completed condition.

A in the drawings represents the improved barrel of my socket, which is made so as to are outwardly from the bottom upward, as shown, and is provided at its upper end with an outwardly-extending ange B, similar to the barrel or tubular portion shown in my previous patent heretofore mentioned; but in my present construction the barrel is locked to the goods in a different manner. -By reference to Fig. 1 of the drawings it will be seen that the flange B is cutaway by suitable machinery so as to form angular points or tongues of metal C C, raised above the surface of the flange B. These points or tongues of metal C C are cut on the two converging sides of angles, whose base is not cut through, but' is bent at said base and left on the body of metal of the iiange B. While I have described and prefer to make these points or tongues of metal of angular shape and pointed, yet it will be apparent that I may cut them oblong or oblong and round on the ends or in any other desirable shape without departing in the least from the spirit of my invention or in any manner affecting the purposes thereof. As shown in the drawings in Fig.`2, I may form the flange B with any number of these points or tongues of metal C; but in order to serve the purposes of my invention it is necessary to have at least two.

'D in the drawings represents the cap of my improved socket, which is struck up out of sheet metal and is provided with a downwardly and inwardly turned iiange adapted to be turned over and embrace the end of the flange B. While I have shown the cap D in the drawings used in connection with the socket, it will be seenthat it plays no part in the mechanical construction or operation and may be dispensed with, if desired, it merely serving as an'ornament or cover.

E represents an ordinary eyelet formed with a dange e, used in connection with my improved socket in a manner as will be hereinafter described.

The parts of my improved socket are secured to the glove or other fabric as follows: After a hole has been cut or punched in the fabricthe eyelet E is inserted therein, the ange e thereof being adapted to fit snugly against the under side of the glove. The barrel A (after having its flange placed within the bent-over portion of the cap when used in connection with a cap) is then inserted within the eyelet E, asjshown in Fig. 4. By means of suitablemachinery the eyelet and the barrel are then forced together, the upper end of the eyelet being jammed against the inner end of the flange B and caused to enter the apertures formed by the raised points or angular tongues of metal, being thereby locked in position and forming the completed socket, as shown in Fig. 5.

While I have shown my idea of forming raised points on the barrel as applied to a socket, the same invention may be applied to a stud in like manner. Y

Fromthe above description it will be seen that by means of my improvementI secure a stud or socket which is simple in construction, yet possesses great strength and which will4 be locked into position firmly.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A member of a glovefastener compris1 ing in its construction an eyelet, and a barrel provided with a flange having raised points or tongues of metal formed thereon at a point between the center and outer edge thereof, the said raised points being adapted to secure the said eyelet in position, substantially as described.

2. In the socket member of a fastener for gloves or other articles, the combination with an eyelet having a iiange at its lower end, of a barrel adapted to receive the head of a stud and provided with a iange having raised points or tongues of metal thereon at a point between the center and outer edge thereof said raised points being adapted to secure the said eyeiet in position, and a cap having turned-over edges adapted to clamp on said flange of the barrel, substantiallyT as described.

3. A socket for glove-fasteners comprising in its construction a barrel adapted to receive the head of a stud and formed with a iiange at its upper end, raised points or tongues of metal struck from the metal of said flange at a point between the center and outer edge thereof, and an eyelet, the construction being such that the eyelet will be secured in position between the raised points and the body portion of'the said flange, substantially as described. r

4. Asocket for glove-fasteners comprising in its construction a stud-receiving member or barrel formed with a flange at its upper end, points or tongues stamped from the metal of the said fiange at a point between the center and outer edge thereof, and an eyelet, the construction being such that by the depression of the raised points, apertures will be left in the body portion of the said Iiangeinto which the eyelet will enter when the eyelet and barrel are forced together, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
